HBC in OZ about to make 303 projectiles????

Any news on these bullets yet? Do we have an approximate availability date?

I really feel sorry for the chap making them. He is still waiting for the dies and it may be months yet.

No date, last communication (Dec) I have is he still has not had the promised parts from the US. He is talking about making some boat tailed ones off existing molds in the mean time. Seems to mirror my bad experience with small firms in the US, they take your money quickly but then delay and delay. A 2~3week wait ended up 3+ months.

First post from me I think since registering, sorry for the poor form fellas.

Ssj, what's the situation now? I'm eyeing off SMLEs and No 4s on mulitple used gun sights and gunshop sights and these would be perfect. The SMKs are beyond ridiculous $$$wise and the Hornady fmj has climbed since I last looked at prices.

My Howa .308 varmint shot like stink at 600 yards with your 155 grain full bore bullet, needless to say I love your current product. You'd make heaps of Aussie and Kiwi .303 shooters and others all over the globe dance with joy if you can put out this MkVII copy! I'm sure 7.7 Jap shooters would be delighted too.

This is something that needs to happen!!

He is looking at making boattails with some existing equipment he will be converting as it seems he cant get the bits from the USA.

Ive talked to a few ppl I supply with projectiles and no one wants BTs, so I guess that is that.

Ah that's a shame, I hope you guys aren't out of pocket too much with the mob who were going to supply the tooling. Just for the record,I would still definitely buy BTs if they shot well (and I know many three-oh shooters love how the BT Sierras perform,just not their price tag lol).

I'll be watching this space!
